In this episode:

* Break down the Oregon vs. Penn State game, highlighting the theme of “Penn State going Penn State” and analyzing the game-ending interception against Oregon’s four-down, three-high defensive front.

* Discuss Lamar Jackson’s struggles in big games, noting two delay-of-game penalties after an interception, and how the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense looked “back” with the return of Xavier Worthy.

* Dive into the Eagles’ win over the Buccaneers, a game they won despite not completing a single pass in the second half, by playing “bully ball” with their physically dominant offensive line.

* Highlight the most glaring coaching error of the week is examined, focusing on the Indianapolis Colts having only 10 players on the field during the Rams’ game-winning touchdown.

* Examine the surprising 3-1 Jacksonville Jaguars, who are praised for their improved defense and potent running game, which has put them in control of the AFC South.
